Congrats!! 11/23 is my wife's birthday! What name did u decide on? My wife gave birth 12/26, 9lb 5oz boy named Gage Alexander. Not getting much sleep but well worth it!

Yeah that's one thing i'm worried about, being so close to Christmas can overshadow his birthday. I'm hoping for 12/12/12 personally! Thanks Mojo!

Awesome news! Congrats to you as well! Perhaps our sons will be on a message board a few years down the line, bad mouthing the current stars of the opposing team together! haha Have you decided on a name?

lol thanks for all your well wishes and name ideas, guys! I'm extremely excited and can't wait to meet my little guy. The only way life could get better right now is if there were some damn hockey games to watch!!

I like Gunnar! Thanks man, I'm super excited and will keep you all posted!

No claude or clarke, another stipulation by the wife is first and middle name initials must be G. A. (to match mine, Gary Anthony)....so some suggestions were Gavin, Gannon, Gage.....

Hey fellas, just wanted to drop in, say hello and CAN WE GET SOME HOCKEY PLEASE?? I've been here less since starting a new position at work, but just wanted to say we'll have a new Flyers fan entering the world 12/26, having my first child, a boy. I was contemplating the name "Giroux", but the wife has voted a strict no.

Lol yeah those are def some Clarke type deals. I've been playing be a GM and Grossmann went down with an acl sprain, out for weeks so i picked up Spacek as a favor cheap sub. I was wondering if anyone else here got the game also bc of the new interconnected gm league

I could see him turning into those one hit wonders. I like his speed and vision but just something about him not making the NHL until he was 25, his size, and if i remember correctly his production dropped off towards the end of the year/playoffs. I'm a fan for what he's accomplished and i certainly hope he keeps up the production, but I just have a gut feeling he'll be one of those Druce type one and done players

I'm not sold on Read for some reason. He had a very nice season, but for some reason I think it may have been a fluke. Sell high...

I'd offer read/bourdon/pick for ryan

Yeah I'm not saying the Wings will sign Semin BECAUSE the Pens got Doan, just that their offseason has been uneventful and disappointing. The only large prize left would be Semin if Doan is snagged. I don't think any teams are too keen on taking a chance on Semin, but i was just pointing out the Wings may feel the pressure and cave in.

....I think the Red Wings will be desperate enough to sign Semin. Thoughts?

wow i JUST saw this on Amazon Prime over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure there was lots of cursing, but don't most locker rooms have that?

screw it, i say sign Big E and maybe he'll flourish under the new Crosby rules!

wow i thought it was just me!

I hope they leave the team as it is, get some more young guys in the lineup and see what they can do. If that means trying to trade Timonen and/or Briere towards the deadline (if we look like we don't have a shot) then so be it. I do NOT want to see our youth traded away as a band aid. I think Couts/Schenn/Voracek are great pieces for the future.

maybe that was Jeff Carter's assignment in Sea Isle the past 4 years?

i liked him as well, big body who always seemed to be a wall against the Flyers. AND he had his awesome Spidey mask haha

I vote for Valiquette!!

This team is more likeable, and a better story, but how could you give up the chance for a guaranteed Cup? And as for this team possibly becoming a dynasty....it IS possible but it's a very short window with the salary cap in place. You've gotta pay these young guys soon, and when you do you're going to lose a few key components. Now if we slowly get rid of older handcuffing contracts (Pronger, Timo, Briere) and replace them with new contracts for the younger guys, we may have something.

Yeah, kind of like when Adams was throwing punches at the back of Hartnell's head while he was tangled with Crosby. But I digress, Carkner did get off a bit easy but when a team is trying to take out your star, there is a real reason for sending a message. At least Carkner took it out on Boyle instead of going after, let's say, Gaborik?

So are you trying to tell me Schenn's hit on Martin was worse than Neal on Couturier? At least Martin had the puck when Schenn hit him. Unbelievable.

So would you want Crosby getting those "noogies" from 6'6'' monster Boyle? I don't think you would. The Sens felt the need to protect their star who was getting targetted by a low talent goon. The Flyers should be doing the same thing after what the Pens have been doing.

I cannot BELIEVE Shanahan can give Torres 25 games and Neal ONE! The Neal hit on Couturier was deserving of 3 by itself. Couturier didn't have the puck, Neal left his skates, and got his head. But Neal says "Oops, I didn't see him!" and all is forgiven? Total b.s. Rinaldo gets thrown out of multiple games in this playoff series alone for pushing a guy to the ice & other small infractions, but Neal stays in and tries taking out Giroux as well. The Flyers can't get ahead even when they play by the book and ignore the circus act the Pens tried. Dress Shelley, plaster Crosby to the boards (even if he doesn't have the puck, since that apparently doesn't matter) and see what happens.
